All users of iptunnel_xmit expect the return value to be the packet length on success (>0), negative for a tx error and zero for a tx dropped error. In cset 0e6fbc5b6c6218987c93b8c7ca60cf786062899d the negative return case was lost.
This bug was introduced when the ip_tunnel_core code was refactored.
